JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here for one last Beltway Football before the big day where you-know-what happens, and the beginning of this show serves as a preview of you-know-what. Then, the fellas wonder if Antonio Gibson's declaration about wanting to line up more as a receiver in 2023 will be heard and then react to Mitch's analysis of Eric Bieniemy and Andrew Wylie's roles in the Netflix show "Quarterback." Lastly, the hosts toss to four listeners who were chosen to give out 2023 bold predictions thanks to work that they did for the program.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back for another Beltway Football, one that begins on a serious note. Recently, JP caught up with ex-Washington safety Deshazor Everett, who last made major news due to his involvement in a car accident that took the life of his girlfriend. In their chat, Deshazor explains his remorse over the tragedy, where he's at mentally and what his purpose is moving forward, among other things. After hearing that, the three hosts transition into a football segment, which is based on Jason Wright's future once this new ownership group takes over. If you like podcasts where Pete reveals his newfound adoration for a certain beer and JP has a supremely simple reaction to last week's Wright-related developments, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey zoom past an uncomfortable first topic in order to debate the following: Is it more likely that Washington wins 10 games in 2023 or wins just five of them? From there, Mitch gets upset with the league's "malarkey" gambling policy before Pete introduces a topic that asks the hosts to recall the most "perfect" individual performances (both well-known and more obscure) they've seen by members of the organization. Names mentioned in that segment include Doug Williams, Santana Moss and Darrel Young, among many others. If you like podcasts where Pete recaps his trip to Mexico City (and probably provides a little too much info on one aspect) and the term "plough horse" is used on multiple occasions, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are very thankful for the faithful followers of Beltway Football, because those faithful followers supplied excellent questions for this mailbag edition of their program. During their time together, the hosts answer inquiries about what Chase Young must do in 2023, who the most Ashburn Syndrome-y player of all time is, who could potentially be the odd man out on offense this season and what Washington moment they'd have loved to be a fly on the wall for. If you like podcasts where there is some truly disgraceful math done and the destination of Pete's upcoming vacation is revealed, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From there, Mitch looks back on his intriguing and eventful trip to an F1 race Montreal, with JP and Pete sending questions his way as he covers it. Don't fret, there is football discussion, too, as the hosts delve into what to make of the Kareem Hunt-to-Washington rumors and, lastly, conduct their latest overview of the Commanders' offensive line. Finally, you'll get JP's interview with assistant coach Juan Castillo, who's got tons of insight on the O-line and blocking and plenty of other aspects of that area of the game. If you like podcasts where Pete reviews a delightful dessert he munched on and Mitch confuses a basketball with fine china (you'll understand soon), then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey initiate this Beltway Football by discussing the possible dates that the league's owners could approve the sale of Commanders before transitioning into a segment meant to review the offseason up to this point. Who on Washington has stood out for positive reasons and who has stood out for not-so-positive reasons? The hosts identify a bevy of names that fit into both categories, including Jahan Dotson, Kam Curl and Dyami Brown. Then, to wrap up their portion of the show, they all take turns shooting down the idea of the Commanders trading Chase Young (no matter how desperate Steelers fans seem about that potential transaction) before briefly discussing this weekend's US Open. And lastly, you'll hear JP's chat with new primary tight ends coach Todd Storm, who runs through the key guys in his room and what he enjoys about each of them. If you like podcasts where Pete's wardrobe choice highlights his lack of shredded-ness and Mitch flummoxes JP with a sorta-cliche, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay and Pete Hailey are here to close out minicamp with this latest installment of Beltway Football. After discussing the smoke that's enveloping the DMV, the two hosts assign a letter grade to Sam Howell's on-field performance up to this point before discussing Howell's connection with Terry McLaurin as well as Curtis Samuel's level of activity this week. From there, JP and Pete both lay out one thing they've learned about the Commanders after consuming their spring and early summer workouts before tossing to JP's recent one-on-one with receivers coach Bobby Engram and Tress Way's latest session with the general media.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey digested the Commanders' opening day of minicamp on Tuesday and are here to pass along the pertinent info that came out of it. Chase Young's return kicks things off, as the hosts discuss how he looked on the field, what he said off of it and generally (hopefully) close the book on this particular part of Young's career. From there, they transition to a conversation about Sam Howell's hot-and-cold practice and how (if at all) Jacoby Brissett factors into the QB dynamic. Then, to close, Pete delivers a take about an unproven Commander that he believes will soon turn into an elite Commander (gulp). If you like podcasts where JP reveals his annual birthday dessert and Mitch experiences quite a few odd slip-ups, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in Ashburn again on Thursday, but instead of watching on-field action, they spent their time at the Commanders' facility chatting with the club's coaches who aren't named Ron Rivera. First, they listened as Eric Bieniemy and Jack Del Rio addressed the media, and then they spent time bouncing around from scrum-to-scrum with various Washington assistants, all of whom were made available following the coordinators. So, thanks to your hosts, you'll hear everything worthwhile from their experience with all of those football minds. Then, to finish, you'll get a mashup of responses from OL coach Travelle Wharton, DL coach Jeff Zgonina, WRs coach Bobby Engram, LBs coach Steve Russ and ST coach Nate Kaczor. If you like podcasts where the age-old debate of who's more likely to have a baby first between Mitch and Pete is reignited, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have — much like they did in their last episode — a host of observations related to Sam Howell and Eric Bieniemy to begin this Beltway Football. The former had some seriously bright spots mixed in with some questionable choices on Wednesday, while the latter was even more fiery than he was in the first public OTAs practice seven days ago. After focusing on those two key offensive figures, the hosts transition into segments on Ron Rivera being quite open about his dialed-back role and how Kendall Fuller, Benjamin St-Juste, Emmanuel Forbes and Quan Martin could all fit together in 2023. Lastly, Pete highlights a quote from Ron's presser that riled him up. Once the trio says goodbye, you'll hear Sam Howell's presser with reporters after Wednesday's action where the presumed starting QB expresses plenty of excitement about the Commanders. If you like podcasts where the state of Pete's banged-up car is discussed, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were in Ashburn Wednesday for the Commanders' first media-friendly OTAs session of 2023 and have everything you need to know about said session in this Beltway Football installment. The guys begin with tough injury news before holding segments on Eric Bieniemy's energy, Sam Howell's control of the offense and Jamin Davis' status. After covering everything that occurred on the field Wednesday, they go in-depth on Chase Young's OTAs absence, with each host having a chance to explain what they make of that development. Then, to wrap up, you'll hear from Terry McLaurin on topics such as Bieniemy, Howell, Young and the sale of the organization.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey kick off this Beltway Football Podcast by getting JP's updates from owner's meetings in Minnesota. What's the vibe like as the team's sale continues to loom and, generally, what does JP do all day? From there, the hosts each identify a primary and secondary storyline that they're going to track when the Commanders open up OTAs on Wednesday. Then, to close, they react to the news that Washington and Baltimore will hold joint practices during training camp in the summer.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Beltway Football Podcast by diving into the Josh Harris prospectus that was uncovered on Tuesday and reacting to all that was inside of it, including an updated stadium timeline and plans for spending millions upon millions to upgrade various aspects of Washington's operation. After they cover that from top to bottom, the trio moves on to their takeaways from last week's rookie minicamp, which features thoughts on Eric Bieniemy's personality and a couple of tall wideouts who made solid first impressions. Then, to close, you'll hear a scrum with sixth-round running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. If you like podcasts where JP badly butchers the name of the Steelers' home, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have an official Commanders schedule to discuss! The hosts jump right into it by looking at each and every game on Washington's 2023 slate and, as they do so, also predict the results of the matchups. During that exercise, the fellas discuss what Sam Howell's year needs to look like in order to keep his job and one of the trio predicts a coaching change (eyeball emoji x 100). After the week-by-week analysis, JP, Mitch and Pete identify the turning-point games as well as the best and worst stretches of the campaign. Finally, they discuss what has to happen in order for the Commanders to pop off in 2023 and finish, like, 12-5. If you like podcasts where JP provides an early look at his 10-year anniversary plans and Mitch sporadically hates on the Jets, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Beltway Football by getting you up to speed on the Commanders-Andrew Luck-Jim Irsay story that's taking off to begin the week, and while two hosts aren't that bothered by it all, one is. From there, the guys assess the release of Chase Roullier before discussing the NFL's pending schedule announcement and, most importantly, running through possible opponents for Washington's preseason schedule. If you like podcasts where both Mitch and Pete's mock preseason schedules sink as soon as they leave the shore and JP's past as a manager is briefly recapped, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey set out to answer two questions in this Beltway Football: 1) Why did the Commanders' expected win total for 2023 drop in Vegas (it's now at 6.5)? and 2) Is the team's insistence on finding guys with "position flex" actually hurting them? Those two discussions take up the bulk of proceedings — there's some undrafted free agent talk, too — but be sure to stick around to the end to hear JP's one-on-one interview with Emmanuel Forbes, where the first-rounder describes his nervy draft night and how he plans to help Washington. If you like podcasts where JP reveals he's living and loving his Toyota Corolla life, then this is the episode for you.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to wrap up the 2023 NFL Draft by running through what the Commanders did on Day 3 and grading how the squad fared overall. While doing so, they touch on each of Saturday's selections, discuss how Eric Bieniemy and Jack Del Rio are feeling right about now and wonder if the franchise was aggressive enough. That final conversation leads into a grander one about Washington's aggressiveness as a whole compared to more pushy operations like the Eagles. Then, to close, there's some tension that needs to be released before you hear JP catch up with Jahan Dotson and Sam Howell at the Commanders' draft party. If you like podcasts where there's serious snippy-ness between hosts, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are together again, this time to recap what the Commanders did on the second night of the draft. While on the mic, the guys first explain why the selection of Quan Martin is both promising and puzzling before diving into what his addition could mean for the rest of the secondary. Also, is Kendall Fuller in any danger of being let go? They then transition to the choice of Ricky Stromberg and how he'll fit along the offensive line before ping-ponging between a couple of other topics related to those two. Lastly, they look ahead to what Washington must do on Day 3 before tossing to a reporter scrum with defensive backs coach Brent Vieselmeyer, who had plenty to say about first-rounder Emmanuel Forbes. If you like podcasts where sound effects and one-word answers are used to describe feelings about the draft so far and JP does some intense reporting on a strange logo that lots of fans are stressing about, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are here to record this Beltway Football after spending the night in Ashburn and witnessing the start of the Emmanuel Forbes Era from the Commanders' facility. During their time in Pete's (possibly stinky) car, the hosts pass on their immediate reaction to the pick, wonder why Washington chose him over Christian Gonzalez, explain how the Forbes selection meshes with the club's past first-round moves and look at how the acquisition stacks up with what the rest of the NFC East did. There's also chatter about the Commanders' decision to not pick up Chase Young's option, news that was first reported on Wednesday. If you like podcasts where you get educated(-ish) about cities in Mississippi and there's an 100 Chips segment devoted to the smells in Pete's car, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are checking in one last time before Thursday's first round of the 2023 NFL Draft — and there's a lot to check in on. While on Zoom together, the guys each divvy up their 100 Chips on what the outcome of Round 1 will be for Washington — will they take an O-lineman? Will they trade back? What about Bijan Robinson? — and also run through a three-round snake draft where they pick players that the squad could come away with to begin the event. There's also some quarterback chatter as well as a segment on worst-case scenarios for the franchise. Once they sign off, you'll hear JP's interview with the extremely knowledgable Jordan Reid, who's one of ESPN's top draft analysts, as well as Pete's interview with Stefan Krajisnik, who's got the lowdown on Mississippi State pick-6 savant Emmanuel Forbes.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey were TOGETHER in ASHBURN today (for the first time since Eric Bieniemy's introduction) for Ron Rivera and Martin Mayhew's pre-draft press conference, and that presser formed the basis of this Beltway Football. During their time with one another, the guys pass on their primary takeaways from the event, continue to predict that Chase Young's option will not be picked up and have a discussion about whether Bijan Robinson makes any sense at all for the Commanders. After they say goodbye, Pete welcomes on Joey Wagner, an Illinois football reporter, for an all-encompassing interview about highly-touted draft prospect Devon Witherspoon.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey turned to the listeners to provide the fuel for this Beltway Football, as they answer three questions from those who follow @BeltwayFootball on Twitter. The first one deals with where the Commanders' QB3 will come from, the second has to do with who should wear No. 0 and the third is about the guys' favorite football books. Once the trio signs off, you'll hear two more draft-related interviews led by Pete; the first is with Joey Kaufman, who has everything you need to know about Ohio State tackles Paris Johnson Jr. and Dawand Jones, while the second is with Audrey Snyder, who is loaded with information about Penn State's Joey Porter Jr. If you like podcasts where the hosts plead you to follow a random Instagram account and Mitch brings the heat with his suggestion for which Commander needs to don No. 0, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have one finalized trade and one potential trade to cover in this Beltway Football installment. First, they look at the deal between Detroit and Atlanta involving Jeff Okudah, who was drafted one slot after Chase Young in 2020. Does that swap matter at all to Washington and Young? From there, they discuss Bucs linebacker Devin White, who's apparently unhappy with his situation in Tampa. Is that a guy the Commanders ought to go after?

From there, they toss to Pete's interview with University of Georgia expert Seth Emerson, who provides really strong insight into tight end Darnell Washington and tackle Broderick Jones, two guys who make a lot of sense for Washington.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey start this Beltway Football by chatting about Magic Johnson's recent comments regarding he and his group's pursuit of the Commanders. From there, they then transition to a pair of QB-related topics involving Mac Jones and Hendon Hooker. The former revolves around a report(-ish) about Washington being a potential landing spot for Jones if he's traded, while the latter focuses on Hooker's upcoming visit with the club and whether he's a viable draft target. Then, they toss to a scrum that Ron Rivera did with a few reporters on Tuesday, which includes a question from Pete that attempts to get to the bottom of Rivera's controversial "roster building" answer.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey kick off this Washington Football Talk by discussing the fact that Dan Snyder reportedly has a true bid on the table for his franchise. That's certainly the most important topic to get to. However, there's also the fact that the Commanders shut down any and all rumors about a possible pursuit of Lamar Jackson as well as audio from Martin Mayhew's entire Monday presser from league meetings for you to consume. And — this isn't a joke, by the way — Mike Garafolo of NFL Network stops by and ends up filing his toenail live on the show.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey commence this Washington Football Talk by chatting about Steve Apostolopoulos, who's reportedly yet another name in the Commanders' ownership hunt. After covering Steve A's arrival, the guys move onto Anthony Walker's visit but lack of signing — which features a JP-produced theory that Pete disagrees with and eventually angers JP because of his disagreement — before answering a draft question that Pete poses: Will Washington draft a tight end OR corner in the first round, or will they go with any other position on the board? That segues into a larger-scale conversation about how Ron Rivera is (and should be) approaching the 2023 campaign. And finally, you'll hear JP's recent interview with the newly-signed Andrew Wylie, who provides awesome insight on Eric Bieniemy. If you like podcasts where one host totally leaves the other two out to dry and Wylie details his relationship with Christmas trees, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey devote half of this Washington Football Talk to the sale of the team advancing further down the field and half of it to the arrival of Jacoby Brissett. In the first portion, JP provides an update on what he's hearing about the Commanders' pending ownership change as well as some key dates to look at. The guys then transition to what they make of the Brissett signing and what it means for Sam Howell. They also recap the recent introductory pressers for Brissett, Andrew Wylie, Nick Gates and Cody Barton and touch on the departure of O-line coach John Matsko. If you like podcasts where JP legitimately fears that he's getting pulled over and Pete dismisses Amari Cooper's talents, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey say hello in this Washington Football Talk by saying goodbye to Taylor Heinicke, who is reportedly going to join the Falcons.

If you like podcasts where Mitch is desperate to get to the O-line segments and Pete gets surprisingly excited about the acquisition of Cameron Dantzler Sr., then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey quickly united for this festive Washington Football Talk, which was recorded just after news of Daron Payne's new contract broke.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey devote the bulk of their time toward previewing free agency for Washington, but they begin by discussing Mitchell Rales, who's a new name to know in the club's ownership situation. After covering Rales, the guys then each identify the one soon-to-be Commanders free agent that they believe the team should bring back before then looking outside for an external player the franchise ought to sign, too. From there, you'll hear JP and Brian Mitchell's interview with Andy Reid (which was originally recorded on the BMitch & Finlay radio show) where Reid hypes up Eric Bieniemy's coaching style and potential impact on his new employer. If you like podcasts where Mitch asserts himself but scares Pete while doing so and JP's optimism over a Daron Payne extension increases, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A back-home JP Finlay, a battling-a-sickness Mitch Tischler and an ankle-sprained Pete Hailey united for this version of Washington Football Talk, which begins with ownership back-and-forths but includes plenty of football chatter, too. Among that football chatter: Sam Howell's status as QB1, a tepid free agency preview, the Commanders' getting slammed in that NFLPA survey and Pete's official NFL Draft crush for 2023.

An in-Indy JP Finlay linked up with Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey for this edition of Washington Football Talk, which is jammed with lots of content. It of course, though, begins with the latest on Dan Snyder, who finds himself in hot water that just keeps getting hotter. After JP, Mitch and Pete give their opening thoughts on Snyder's situation, you'll hear JP's interview with Don Van Natta Jr., the man who wrote the ESPN story that was posted Tuesday and broke the salacious details about Snyder's finances and behavior as owner. Van Natta provides very useful context on the fresh Snyder drama while on with JP. The trio returns to wrap up that conversation before tossing to a media session featuring Ron Rivera, who's also in Indianapolis and took the time to chat about his free agency approach, what he's thinking about his backup QB hole and more. The guys jump on one more time to react to Rivera's scrum and go through a 100 Chips segment regarding Daron Payne's future.

JP Finlay is Washington Football Talk-ing on his own today, and he begins by giving his view on the potential application of the franchise tag on Daron Payne. JP, personally, isn't crazy about that path. From there, he touches on Eric Bieniemy by addressing a couple of different points regarding the Commanders' new coordinator. Then, JP is joined by John Clark, who works for NBC10 in Philadelphia. Why Clark? Well, because he's quite familiar with Josh Harris, who's one of the possible candidates to replace Dan Snyder as Washington's owner and has been atop the 76ers for years now. During JP's chat with Clark, Clark explains why Harris could be an appealing name for Commanders fans who are desperate to move on from Snyder.

After reflecting on Beathard, the guys then transition into a conversation about Anthony Lynn, who is the latest offensive coordinator candidate to interview with the Commanders.

And, to close, you'll hear JP's interview with Joe Pompliano, a sports business analyst, as the two of them chat about various aspects of Washington's transition to the Commanders — and if another transition could soon happen, too.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey open this Washington Football Talk by chatting about the Commanders' interest in the Chiefs' Eric Beiniemy. Could Washington actually land the longtime Kansas City offensive mind or is this just another example of the franchise aiming high but eventually having to settle for less? Also: Would he truly fit with this franchise and Ron Rivera's vision? From there, the trio moves onto a discussion about whether people should be upset with Rivera choosing to play in a golf tournament over attending the Senior Bowl in-person before concluding with a conversation about Daron Payne's future with the club.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey are back and, like you, are still curious as to what the Commanders will do at offensive coordinator. Will they nab Thomas Brown, promote Ken Zampese or somehow snag Eric Bieniemy? From there, Mitch and Pete lead a pair of random segments, with Mitch discussing the Coach of the Year finalists and how they're just another reminder of Washington's struggles before Pete presents a trivia question that ties into this weekend's action.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk with more offensive coordinator chatter, as the guys discuss who's interviewed for the position, who's set to interview and whether ex-Ravens OC Greg Roman is an appealing target or not for the club. From there, Pete quickly recaps Friday's opening of a new sportsbook inside of FedEx Field before the trio makes their picks for the next batch of playoff matchups. Once they're done, you'll hear Jason Wright's Friday session with reporters where the Commanders' president mostly discusses what the sportsbook will do for the stadium (and briefly touches on the ownership situation and how he's handling the uncertainty). Then, to close, Pete welcomes on Dave, a UK listener who won the program's season-long over/unders competition and therefore earned a spot on this installment of the show. During Dave's appearance, he describes what it's like to support Washington from so far away, details what a typical gameday for him includes and is generally a very pleasant person to talk to.

JP Finlay opens this Washington Football Talk with Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey by sharing a chunk of ownership-related info that he has been collecting recently. Among those nuggets are a potential timeline for a sale of the Commanders, Jeff Bezos' status, the dropping out of another potential candidate and renewed optimism about the stadium possibly returning to the RFK site. That discussion takes up the bulk of the show, but at the end, the guys also react to the weekend's reports about Sam Howell being viewed as Washington's QB1.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey begin this Washington Football Talk by explaining why none of them are all that interested in the team pursuing Derek Carr to be the franchise's QB of the future. After discussing Carr, the guys shift their focus to the club's vacant offensive coordinator gig before making their picks for each of the weekend's playoff games. Then, to close, JP catches up with the famous (and Commanders-crazed) Matthew Berry, who is really, really not pleased that Scott Turner was fired and also relatively pro-Carr.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey recorded their final postgame pod of the 2022 season just a couple of days ago and already have significant 2023 news to react to, as the Commanders chose to fire Scott Turner on Tuesday (news that JP Finlay himself broke). In their review of the move, the guys explain why they aren't surprised by it, what Turner's replacement will face and potential (as well as far-fetched) candidates for the gig. After analyzing the Turner firing, the trio moves on to chat about Ron Rivera and Martin Mayhew's uninspiring season-in-review presser from Tuesday.
